All of us at least sometimes faced with the problem of lack of hot water in the house, whether it is checking water supply networks in the summer, an accident at any time of the year, or even living in a house where there is no hot water as such. In the latter case, a gas water heater is usually installed, which is cheaper than an electric one, but at the same time heats water perfectly. In other cases, people prefer not to mess with explosive gas, but buy an electric version, which will heat the water and is safer in itself. One of the many models on the market is the instantaneous water heater AEG (Allgemeine Elektricitäts Gesellschaft).

Working principle
The AEG flow water heater with the RMC 75 control system is designed to heat cold water to the required temperature for household needs (for one or more taps). The desired water temperature is adjusted using a mixer or a regulator on the front panel.
The design of the device is based on a heating element (tubular electric heater), which is made of copper. It is located inside a high-strength metal flask. Such heaters are not affected by water hardness, so they can be used anywhere where there is running water. A special coating inside the flask and on the surface of the heating element protects against scale. It is the temperature of the heating element that is controlled by the water heater system, and when it overheats, the device turns off automatically.
The AEG instantaneous water heater and the like do not accumulate water and then heat it, but heat it in real time in the required volume to the desired temperature. It should be noted that due to this system of work, less electricity is consumed.
It is important to remember that different models of water heaters are designed to work with different types of mains voltage (single-, two- or three-phase).
ForcedAEG instantaneous water heater turns on and operates at a constant water pressure, water is supplied to the water heater constantly, regardless of whether the device is turned on. Non-pressure is weaker in power and, unlike pressure, can only work on one tap in the house. At the point where water enters the device, a valve is installed to regulate the high pressure of water in the pipes, while water flows out freely at the outlet.
Safety
German quality and compliance with European safety standards guarantee good and safe operation. To keep the AEG pressureless or pressureless instantaneous water heater running for a long time and without problems, it has built-in overheating protection in the form of a temperature limit, which ensures the safe operation of the electrical appliance. There is also protection against getting water on the wires and inside the device of the AP-25 type, thanks to which the water heater can be installed directly near the faucet and the shower.
It can be used both in a private house / apartment and in commercial real estate, and some models can be used in catering establishments, where water is almost never turned off during the working day.
AEG Water Heater Benefits
- Compact size (takes up little space than large 30-litre water heaters, but still heats water well).
- Economy (does not "eat up" money, because when the heater is on, a relatively small amount is spentelectricity).
- High performance (capable of working non-stop for several hours).
- Can provide hot water to multiple outlets (can be connected to both bathroom and kitchen faucets, but not all models have this option).
- Multi-level device security described above.
- Automatically turns on and off when overheating, while cold water does not start to flow sharply.
- Ability to adjust power (the more expensive the model, the greater the ability to adjust the pressure, water temperature).
- Easy to install due to small size and weight, as well as a complete set and installation instructions.
- Affordable price on most models.
- Manufacturer's warranty in all stores is 3 years, for some types - up to 10 years.
Package and appearance
Complete with the water heater upon purchase, you get standard fittings, a water-saving shower head with mounting brackets, as well as an instruction manual and wires for connecting to the network. In the store you can pick up additional accessories in the form of shower heads, hoses, fixtures, etc.
The color palette of water heaters is limited to black and white. The pen is usually marked with a red stripe.
Estimated cost
The instantaneous electric water heater AEG costs from 7 to 80 thousand rubles. The cost depends on the throughput (number of liters per minute), oncontrol options (buttons, touch panel, remote control), on the appearance and other characteristics. The AEG RMC instantaneous water heater is one of the most popular and medium-priced models, it costs about 15 thousand rubles.
